Without wasting another precious second on family arguments, Alex immediately dialed the very first number stored on his contact list with the kind of decisiveness that comes from knowing exactly who could solve this problem.The phone connection went through instantly without any delays or complications that had plagued the family's earlier attempts to reach military contacts.In fact, the phone hadn't even completed its first ring when somebody's voice immediately responded with crystal-clear reception.The voice that answered was distinctly feminine, professional, and carried the kind of respectful deference that indicated a significant power differential between caller and receiver.“Master, I am completely at your service,” the lady's voice said with the kind of immediate availability and submission that suggested Alex held considerable authority over whoever had answered.And immediately, without wasting another second on pleasantries or explanations. Alex spoke with a completel

Immediately upon hearing what Alex had just said with such devastating authority and unmistakable threat of court martial proceedings, the Nine-Star King of War felt his legs literally start shaking uncontrollably beneath him.He couldn't believe the horrifying realization that he had almost catastrophically disrespected the exact person he had been urgently summoned to meet with such deference and immediate compliance.The officer couldn't believe what he was actually hearing from someone who appeared so ordinary yet spoke with the kind of supreme authority that could destroy his entire military career with a single official complaint.And from all verbal and contextual indications surrounding this encounter, the Nine-Star King of War knew with growing panic that he had literally and dangerously offended Alex through his initial skepticism and questioning.So without wasting another precious second that could compound his already serious breach of protocol, the high-ranking officer i

At that moment, processing the shocking appearance of the Nine-Star King of War and his unprecedented personal intervention, Rose's parents immediately looked at each other with expressions of triumphant vindication.“Don't tell me that it is Henry King who literally sent this supreme military authority here to come help us personally,” Rose's father said with growing excitement and obvious pride.“I knew it! I absolutely knew it that Henry King is somebody of tremendous influence somebody of genuinely great respect and power throughout the entire military hierarchy,” Rose's mother added with the kind of satisfaction that comes from feeling vindicated in one's judgment.“Just imagine the incredible generosity Henry King didn't even wait for Rose to literally agree to his marriage proposal and sign the contract, and he's already delivering on his promise to help,” Rose's father continued, interpreting the timing as evidence of Henry King's exceptional character.“This proves beyond any

At that moment, upon hearing what Rose's father had just directly asked about who had sent him to intervene, the Nine-Star King of War immediately remembered with crystal clarity what Alex had explicitly told him during their bathroom meeting.He vividly recalled that Alex had commanded him specifically that he shouldn't mention his name under any circumstances during this medical intervention.Though Alex hadn't explicitly stated in those exact words that he shouldn't mention the name of anybody at all, the clear implication and spirit of the instruction was obvious discretion about the source of this assistance.So the Nine-Star King of War found himself caught in an extremely delicate diplomatic situation with no good options available.It would be fundamentally bad and dishonest of him if he deliberately failed to acknowledge or mention the actual person who literally ordered him to execute this mission.That kind of deception would violate basic military honor and truthfulness ab

“Immediately stop this attitude of hers and see clearly for herself that it wasn't Alex who accomplished anything meaningful here,” Rose's father commanded with parental authority.“It was just pure coincidence that this fool happened to end up sitting here comfortably, enjoying the free air conditioning in the VIP room without having done anything to earn it,” Rose's mother concluded with dismissive contempt, reducing Alex's presence to opportunistic comfort-seeking.So at that moment, observing his in-laws' increasingly harsh dismissal and recognizing that their contempt was escalating despite his successful intervention, Alex found himself in a delicate position.Knowing fully well that if he continued saying absolutely nothing about his actual role, it was going to appear as if maybe he didn't know what he was doing and they might continue to look down upon him with even greater disdain.Even though Alex genuinely hadn't reached the point where he really wanted to reveal his compl
